DCI are probably your best bet in Perth, unless you want to do it yourself.

Shaun there is brilliant with anything that runs a current, morso when its in cars.

James, he doesnt keep stock of second hand bits to my knowledge, so if you wanted to exchange it would prolly be a new Toyota Genuine job.

Shaun is a whiz with his hot pointy stick and melting metal.

If anyone is going to the trouble of removing their dash, would highly recommend replacing the glass. I did mine over the weekend and it looks awesome - only $40 plus $10 postage from Toyota Genuine, Castle Hill. My old glass was starting to bubble from heat and possibly products like Armorall sprayed on it by the previous owner.

Make sure you read the tutorial on here cause removing the dash can be very painful or very simple!

Yes it can be, fortunately mine was simple. When you pull your dash out Leon make sure you clean the reflector mirror, it made so much of a difference when i did mine. I nearly needed sunnies to look at my digital display! Well worth it....

Thanks, I will probably clean everything that can be cleaned. I figure if i've got something apart, there is no point to doing half a job.

I would say that's normal. I gues you could put a lens in there to change it, but i'm not sure that it would make a whole lot of difference.

Looks pretty doesn't it :-)

The colour of the lower part of the dash is determined by the colour of the tube installed. You leave the old one in, you get green. You put in a new blue one ......

The fluro/cathode you have to change is quite a bitch to do. (Watching Shaun fix a dash today actually!).
You can get it done, like Phil's, and it looks hot! ;D

I just had a brain wave, blue cathode used in Computer case mods should be perfect. Correct voltage/size and darn easy to get a hold of! Cheap too :-)

I don't see whats so hard about it actually. I've had mine completely in pieces, pulled the fluro out and cleaned it etc. Fiddly, but not in the slightest bit hard!

I don't see it making a huge difference in the colour of the bar as its really only a back light for whats already there. Anyone got a photo of the blue bit down the bottom done?

The part is easy to get hold of Leon, its mainly about getting it the right size to fit in the little cavity. You then have to worry about light pollution in to the other lights and areas if its too bright.

But, it looks hot when its done! ;D

That's thru Shaun right? Is that a recent price?
I need the blinky dash done.
